The Taranaki District Health Board (now Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora Taranaki) breached the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights for an elderly man's discharge, leading to his death 40 minutes later.
The Aged Care Commissioner, Carolyn Cooper, found the hospital failed to complete pre-discharge checks and provided inadequate care, resulting in an unsafe discharge due to a lack of critical thinking and communication.
The man, admitted for COPD and abdominal pain, was still struggling with mobility and shortness of breath when discharged.
